AnswersDriveThe atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid.
What does a solid and a liquid have in common?
Solid, liquid, and gas are common states of matter. A substance can exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas. The state of a substance depends on the space between its particles and on the way in which the particles move. The particles in all matter are always in motion.
How are the states of matter similar and different?
Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles.
1
What is a solid made out of?
Most solids are made up of tiny crystals. This is because their particles are arranged in a regular pattern, called a CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE. Solids behave as they do because of the way their particles are arranged. The particles of a solid are linked by strong forces, which pull the particles tightly together.
2
What are the characteristics of solid?
Liquids will flow and fill up any shape of container. Solids like to hold their shape. In the same way that a large solid holds its shape, the atoms inside of a solid are not allowed to move around too much. Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want.

What are the properties of a solid?
In a solid, molecules are packed together, and it keeps its shape. Liquids take the shape of the container. Gases spread out to fill the container. Solid is one of the three main states of matter, along with liquid and gas.
4
What is the difference between a solid and a gas?
Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.

How are the three states of matter similar and how are they different?
The main difference in the structures of each state is in the densities of the particles.
- Solids. In a solid, particles are packed tightly together so they are unable to move about very much.
- Liquids.
- Gases.
- Plasma.
- Bose-Einstein condensates.
- Melting and freezing.
- Sublimation.
- Vaporization.

What are some examples of a solid?
Other solids, known as amorphous solids, lack any apparent crystalline structure. Examples of solids are common table salt, table sugar, water ice, frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice), glass, rock, most metals, and wood. When a solid is heated, the atoms or molecules gain kinetic energy .
7
Are solid compressible?
Solids and liquids have very little free space between particles. So they are not easily compressible. For most applications, it can be assumed that they are incompressible. Gases, on the other hand, are easily compressible.
8
What are solids liquids and gases called?
A solid has a definite shape and volume. A liquid has a definite volume but it takes the shape of a container whereas a gas fills the entire volume of a container. You already know that diamond and graphite are solids made up of the element carbon. They are two phases of carbon, but both are solids.
9
What is common in all the three states of matter?
The common thing among the three states of matter is - They are made up of small tiny particles. They have a particular mass and can occupy space . This three states have volume in it . The atoms of this three states have force of attractions between them .

Why can't you compress a liquid?
When you compress liquid water together, the molecular forces become very strong stopping it from being compressed very much. However, for a gas the molecules are so far apart that the forces are much smaller (the main reason a gas can't be compressed is due to the kinetic energy of the molecules in the gas).
11
Why do solids have a fixed shape and volume?
Any matter that is a solid has a definite shape and a definite volume. The molecules in a solid are in fixed positions and are close together. Although the molecules can still vibrate, they cannot move from one part of the solid to another part. As a result, a solid does not easily change its shape or its volume.
12
Why can't solids and liquids be squashed easily?
Because the particles don't move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can't flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can't easily be compressed. Because there are lots of particles in a small volume, solids are dense.
13
What are the similarities between gas and liquid?
Transcript of Similarities of solid, liquids, and gas. Sold, liquid, and gas all have volume and shape. They are all made up of atoms, molecules, or ions. Liquids and solids can be referred to as condensed phased because their particles are close together.
14
Why is the gas easier to compress than a liquid or a solid?
Why is a gas easier to compress than a liquid or a solid? Its volume increases more under pressure than an equal volume of liquid does. The space between gas particles is much less than the space between liquid or solid particles.
15
What does a solid and a liquid have in common?
Solid, liquid, and gas are common states of matter. A substance can exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas. The state of a substance depends on the space between its particles and on the way in which the particles move. The particles in all matter are always in motion.
16
Can you compress a liquid?
You can compress water, or almost any material. However, it requires a great deal of pressure to accomplish a little compression. For that reason, liquids and solids are sometimes referred to as being incompressible.
17
How are the three states of matter different from each other how are they the same?
Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Particles can move about within a liquid, but they are packed densely enough that volume is maintained.
18
What is it called when a gas turns into a liquid?
This kind of phase change--liquid to gas--is called evaporation or vaporization. Water vapor can in turn be cooled to form liquid water. This kind of phase change--from gas to liquid--is referred to as condensation. Some gases can be cooled down and changed directly into a solid.
19
Can a solid diffuse into a solid?
It is even possible for a solid to diffuse into another solid; e.g., pure gold will diffuse into pure lead, two pieces of chalk tightly wrapped together are found to become homogeneous after some years; although at room temperature this diffusion is very slow.
